Abstract

This study aims to estimate, in monetary figures, the environmental value of recreational theme park- Huis Ten Bosch (HTB), located in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, through the integration of both contingent valuation method (CVM) and remote sensing. In the analysis, we have estimated the environmental value of HTB through CVM. Then, we have compared this amount with the valuation made by using remote sensing. The results of the study would provide the interest groups some monetary base, to value the worth of environmental restoration activities undertaken by HTB.
